- Post date: June 3, 2013. Advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) that is caused by high blood pressure (hypertensive kidney disease) can cause a peripheral neuropathy. This generally occurs when the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is less than 30 milliliters per minute per 1.73 meters squared.

Toxic Neuropathy Toxic Neuropathy. Toxins, poisons and chemicals can cause peripheral neuropathy. This can happen through drug or chemical abuse or through exposure to industrial chemicals in the workplace or in the environment (after either limited or long-term exposure). Common toxins that cause neuropathy include: exposure to lead, mercury, arsenic and thalium.

Niacin kidney Vitamin E and niacin also are crucial to nerve health. Not having enough of these vitamins in your system may cause peripheral neuropathy. Kidney disease, liver disease, connective tissue disorders, an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism) and amyloidosis also can cause peripheral neuropathy. Check with your doctor to rule out these conditions.

Peripheral Neuropathy In the United States, the most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes. According to the American Diabetes Association, 60 to 70 percent of people with diabetes will develop neuropathy within their lifetime. Other causes of peripheral neuropathy include: Certain medications, including some chemotherapy drugs.

Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects your nerves. Nerves carry information from your brain to your body. When you have neuropathy, the information does not transfer along your nerves correctly. The nerves in your legs, arms, feet, or hands are affected. It also may affect your organs, such as your lungs, stomach, bladder, or genitals.

Long-Term Effects of Peripheral Neuropathy Peripheral neuropathy is a condition that affects the nerves outside of the brain or spinal cord. It can cause changes to sensation, movement and involuntary functions. Pressure on the nerves can cause peripheral neuropathy, as can certain conditions such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited disorder.

Diabetic Nephropathy Diabetic nephropathy -- kidney disease that results from diabetes -- is the number one cause of kidney failure. Almost a third of people with diabetes develop diabetic nephropathy. People with diabetes and kidney disease do worse overall than people with kidney disease alone. This is because people with diabetes tend to have other long-standing medical conditions, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and blood vessel disease (atherosclerosis).

New clues to causes of peripheral nerve damage The most common cause of peripheral neuropathy is diabetes, which accounts for about half of all cases. The condition also can occur in cancer patients treated with chemotherapy, which can damage nerves. In the body, Schwann cells wrap tightly around nerve axons, the fibers that relay nerve signals.

Types of Peripheral Neuropathy - Inflammatory Peripheral neuropathy may occur as a result of having vasculitis. Vasculitis can be caused by infection of the blood vessel walls or an immune or allergic reaction in the vessel wall. The first cause is rare. When it occurs, bacteria, viruses or fungi infect the blood vessel.

Evaluation and Prevention of Diabetic Neuropathy Distal symmetric polyneuropathy is the most common form of diabetic neuropathy. Diabetic neuropathy also can cause motor deficits, silent cardiac ischemia, orthostatic hypotension, vasomotor instability, hyperhidrosis, gastroparesis, bladder dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction.

Overview Severe damage to these blood vessels can lead to diabetic nephropathy, decreased kidney function and kidney failure. Diabetic nephropathy causes Diabetic nephropathy is a common complication of diabetes, types 1 and 2. Over time the high blood sugar associated with untreated diabetes causes high blood pressure. This in turn damages the kidneys by increasing the pressure in the delicate filtering system of the kidneys.

Diabetic Neuropathy (Nerve Damage) - An Update Peripheral neuropathy (more commonly called neuropathy) is a general term for diseases that cause damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord. While diabetes is a frequent cause of neuropathy, it is not the only cause. Nutritional deficiencies (B-12 and folate), chemical exposures, pressure on nerves, or medications (such as some of those used for chemotherapy or to treat AIDS) can also cause neuropathy.

When the nerves are damaged, they don't function properly. podiatrist, family physician, internist, or physician who specializes in diabetes can diagnose peripheral neuropathy. The diagnosis is made on the basis of a physical exam, health history, and your reporting of symptoms.
